This Alfred workflow lets you select any Firefox profiles found in ~/Library/Application\ Support/Firefox/Profiles/. It lets you open different FF profiles in parallel. This workflow is written in Ruby which I never worked with before. I think there are better ways to do it. Anyways, I am using it on a daily base. https://github.com/mikezahno/alfredworkflow-ffp It is not yet on packal as I am new to the community. Any suggestions and contributions are very welcome.

Change your default web browser quickly and easily from within Alfred.
Simple yet effective, this workflow enablea you to easily change your default browser. The official repository is located on Github --> https://github.com/stuartcryan/defaultbrowser-alfred-workflow where any issues can be logged on the issue tracker. I have also put this workflow on Packal.

Donations
This workflow represents many hours effort of development, testing and rework. The images that have been licensed for this workflow from DepositPhotos also needed a bit of my moolah. So if you love the workflow, and get use out of it every day, if you would like to donate as a thank you to buy me more caffeine giving Diet Coke, some Cake, or to put towards a shiny new gadget you can donate to me via Paypal.
You should also consider getting into contact with Margus Kerma and donating to Margus also for the work that has bene put into the defaultbrowser binary.
Usage
db < browser >
Note - if you try to set the default browser that is already active as the default you will just get a notification.
Browsers currently supported:
Chrome
Firefox
Opera
Safari
Chromium - New in V1.1
Canary - New in V1.1
SeaMonkey - New in V1.1

Troubleshooting
If you are finding that you are seeing browsers listed that you have installed previously but no longer have on your system you will need to clear out all your default handlers.
Unfortunately, this is the only solution I have found to date, you should research it in depth before you use it. The following command will re-initialise all the "handlers" OSX knows about and will therefore resolve the issue, it will also likely require you to set up all your custom file associations again.
In other words... you do this at your own risk, I do not support this in any way shape or form...
The command you will need to run on the terminal is: lsregister -kill

HI,
Is it possible to determine wich 1password url is opened in which browser? I do have a lot of logins saved, but some site are only supporting Chrome, other Firefox etc.
Now when i search in alfres it opens always the 1password url's in my standard browser.
I would love have the oppertunity/workflow to change that.
I'm able to open standard url's in different browers, what i'm looking for is specific for some 1password urls.

I would like to use (either standard alfred web search or a custom workflow) alfred to launch google searches. At the moment, they all open in a new window if the app (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) is not already open. I would like the behavior to be that the search opens in a new tab even if the app is currently closed, and is launched by the alfred query. Any help appreciated.

Hi guys,
Someone else posted an excellent workflow that allows a user to add the current Chrome URL to Safari's Reading List. I tried altering the code to allow this to work with Firefox, as this is the browser I user personally, but could not get it to work.
Does anyone with more techincal skills than I have know how to implement this as a workflow?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi.
I have noticed a small bug annoying bug. When I want to open web bage using "1P shortcut" alfred opens two tabs in Firefox.
Problem affects only Firefox (I have checked Safari, Opera and Chrome).

Here is a workflow for all those people who often have to use different Firefox instances (with different profiles).
Type "ff" or "firefox" to start Firefox with the Profile Manager to manually select a profile.
Alternatively you can add the name of the profile as parameter, e.g. "ff default" to start a new Firefox instance with the profile named "default".
Keep in mind that a profile can only be used in one instance at the same time.

I came across this little app which indexes bookmarks for Chrome and Firefox in Spotlight. But you can then set it up so you get bookmark results in Alfred from your Chrome or Firefox account.
I think it works a little better than the bookmark workflow currently available in the workflow forum.
Just thought I would share it as some may find it useful.

Please make Chrome and Firefox bookmarks searchable natively. I know there are people that have made workflows, but they do not work that great.
Chrome should be easy. They are stored in plain text file that could be parsed and Alfred's search logic would be great for that addition.
